- Benjamin's thunderstorm / by Florence, Melanie.; Pichette, Hawlii.;
"Benjamin loves the rain. He loves splashing in puddles and kicking the droplets. And most of all, he loves the sound of thunder because it reminds him of the drum his grandfather plays at powwow. There's nothing better than being outside in the rain, enjoying all the colors and sounds of the storm -- until the lightning comes. Benjamin doesn't like the lightning at all! But when he closes his eyes and listens to the sound of the thunder, he imagines himself as a powwow dancer, dancing in time to the beat of the drum, not scared of anything. Featuring Cree words interwoven into the story, and a pronunciation guide in backmatter, this inviting picture book is a warm celebration of drumming, dancing and the joy of jumping in puddles"--- Subjects: Picture books.; Cree children; Weather; Thunder; Dance;

- Witchcraft : a history in thirteen trials / by Gibson, Marion,1970-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Witchcraft is a ... journey through thirteen witch trials across history, some famous-like the Salem witch trials-and some lesser-known: on Vardø island, Norway, in the 1620s, where an indigenous Sami woman was accused of murder; in France in 1731, during the country's last witch trial, where a young woman was pitted against her confessor and cult leader; in Pennsylvania in 1929 where a magical healer was labelled a 'witch'; in Lesotho in 1948, where British colonial authorities executed local leaders. Exploring how witchcraft became feared, decriminalized, reimagined, and eventually reframed as gendered persecution, Witchcraft takes on the intersections between gender and power, indigenous spirituality and colonial rule, and political conspiracy and individual resistance. Offering a vivid, compelling, and dramatic story, unspooling through centuries, about the men and women who were accused-some of whom survived their trials, and some who did not-Witchcraft empowers the people who were and are victimized and marginalized, giving a voice to those who were silenced by history."--- Subjects: Marginality, Social.; Trials (Witchcraft); Witch hunting; Witchcraft;

- From the rez to the runway : forging my path in fashion : a memoir / by Allaire, Christian,1992-author.; Beker, Jeanne,writer of foreword.;
"Growing up on the Nipissing First Nation reserve in Northern Ontario, Christian Allaire wanted to work in the fashion industry, a future that seemed like a remote, and unlikely, dream. He was first introduced to style and design through his culture's traditional Ojibwe powwow regalia--ribbon skirts, beaded belts, elaborate headdresses. But as a teenager, he became transfixed by the high-fashion designs and runway shows that he saw on Fashion Television and in the pages of Vogue. His unwavering interest in fashion led him to complete a journalism degree so he could pursue his goal of becoming a full-time fashion writer. After landing his first big magazine job in New York City, Allaire found himself working at the epicentre of the international fashion industry. His dream had come true. Yet he soon realized the fashion world--and his place in it--wasn't always quite as glamorous as he imagined it would be. From grinding as an unpaid intern, to becoming a glitzy (but overworked) fashion editor, Allaire writes with feeling about the struggle to find his place--and community--in the highly exclusive world of fashion. And he recounts, with great candour, the difficulty of balancing his ambitions with the often-inaccurate perceptions--including his own--of his culture's place in the realm of fashion. Full of joy, honesty, adversity, and great clothes, From the Rez to the Runway is a gripping memoir about how to achieve your dreams--and elevate others--while always remaining true to yourself."--- Subjects: Biographies.; Autobiographies.; Personal narratives.; Allaire, Christian, 1992-; Fashion editors; Fashion editors;
